How many episodes are there of Married at First Sight Australia season 8?

The eight season of Married at First Sight Australia is made up of 36 episodes, including the reunion.

The first episode is airing on Monday, October 4 at 7:30pm and will be shown from Monday-Friday.

Originally kicking off in 2020, the series was shown on Channel Nine in Australia and filmed during the pandemic.

This means there were very strict Covid rules in place including a reduction in the number of guests allowed.

Couple Beth Moore and Russell Duance weren’t even allowed to have a best man and bridesmaids as none of their friends and family lived in the area where they married.

So if they had wanted to attend they would have had to quarantine for 14 days in a hotel beforehand.

Beth said that her wedding felt more like ‘a really fancy, first blind date’, telling 9Entertainment: "I think if COVID wasn't a thing, it would've been a better day because we would have had our friends and family there, they would've been interacting, we would've been able to see what each other's families were like.

“And it might have just been less awkward and nerve-wracking, because it was just us.”

When does Married at First Sight Australia season 8 finish?

The last reunion episode is set to air on E4 at 7:30pm on Monday, November 22.

This will fill the holes in our lives after the final of Married at First Sight UK.
